The UHD release of Se7en introduces certain limitations on the extras compared to the previous DVD and Blu-ray editions. These differences reflect the technical constraints and priorities of the Ultra HD Blu-ray (UHD-BD) format, as well as the decision to consolidate all content onto a single UHD disc.
Multi-Angle Features
- The UHD-BD specification does not support multi-angle functionality, which was utilized in special features on the DVD and Blu-ray editions of Se7en.
- As a result, features such as the Exploration of the Opening Title Sequence and the Telecine Gallery are re-presented in this release in a fashion that does not utilize the angle feature.
High-Resolution Audio
- Despite UHD's capability to support high-resolution audio, the LPCM 24-bit/96 kHz stereo mix included in earlier editions for the Exploration of the Opening Title Sequence feature is not present on the UHD disc.
One-Disc Approach
- The UHD release consolidates all content onto a single disc. If a second Blu-ray disc was used for the special features, then legacy features like multi-angle could have been ported over.
Conclusion
The UHD release of Se7en sacrifices features that were available in previous editions:
- Multi-angle functionality for the title sequence exploration and Telecine Gallery has been replaced with a simplified presentation.
- The high-resolution LPCM 24-bit/96 kHz audio mix for the same feature is no longer included.
For enthusiasts of these features, the DVD or Blu-ray editions remain the most comprehensive versions for exploring the film's technical and creative achievements.
